Monorail Drink-A-Thon

[Mister Disney]

OK folks.....

I can't get to the Sept. Meeting....but how about scheduling LOTW MEET II on either October 15 or October 16th?? The 15th would be prior to going to the Party for the Senses ...or the 16th would be up for grabs.....the restaurant board might be deciding my dinner choices that night...and in my mind the MORE the merrier!!!

Let me know if you are interested!

OMG!!!! misterdisney...i am soooo excited!!!

MY DH AND I WILL BE AT PftS on OCT 15!!!!!!!! Oh I am SO happy I get to meet you guys! How cool! We are going to skip the concert and go to the line up at 6 pm! I am so excited...have you ever been to a PftS before? I have heard it is good to snag a table and take turns going to the booths. It would be DELIGHTFUL if we could share a table!!!

damgi-WELCOME! The suggestions of Jellyrolls is a good one...i need to get into that place...i still have not been. BUT, since we are staying at BWV for our trip, I am sure we will get in there at some point!

 

[Mister Disney]

I have ABSOLUTELY NO experience with PftS.

So I have nothing to expect.

We'd love to share a table with you. Are you PROMSING a table?

PM me and lets work this out!

I finally tried the Island Sunset at the Poly and yummmmmmy! I could have had quite a few of those suckers!

How is everyone doing?

 

[DisneyaHolic23]

I've never been during Food & Wine (and was starting to wonder if I ever would get to go!), but SURPRISE, we get to go the very first week of October. I simply can not picture the event in my mind.

Help me out, Lushes, please... What FREE (or almost free) events must we take advantage of? I've heard something about Australia & wine tasting, and free scotch somewhere?

Thanks, all, for your wisdom!

Disneyaholic - In addition to the Australian wine tasting there is also a free Sam Adams beer lesson (the history of beer, and you get some free beer) at the American pavilion. We didn't get a chance to do it last year, but this year - for sure!

Hi Lilly, WLL, Mister Disney, Aidensmom, Lynn, and Lglblonde! Hope everyone is starting the weekend right!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Totally unrelated to Disney, but if any of you are ever in Juneau, AK you *must* go to the Alaskan Brewing Co. Brewery. We just got back about a week ago from fishing in Alaska and on the way to the fishing lodge and on the way back we had a day in Juneau. The first day in Juneau we hit up the brewery. They give free beer tours and free tastings all day. Their tastings are not in wimpy little glasses either - I think the glasses were 4 ounces...and of course I had to try all 6 beers. Hehe! All of their beer is made right there in Juneau and it is yummy. My favorite was the Smoked Porter. Before they brew the beer the barley/malts are smoked (just like how you would smoke salmon or something like that)....it gives the beer the best flavor ever.

 

[ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

As usual, Im soooooooooo jealous! I was tinkering with the idea of making it up there for the Sam Adams tasting/class. I looooove Sam Adams, and their seasonal beers are the best! I hope to get a super detailed report on this.

 

[1MegMeg]

Ahhh - I will definitely report back. I agree with you about their seasonal beers. Their summer ale is my favorite! Last year, we happened to be strolling by the American Pavilion right after the tasting/lesson started, so we got to see and hear some of it, but we were just a bit too late to participate. This year, we are going to find out the times in advance and make sure we are there.

 

[ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

Their Summer Ale is great, but my favorite goes to the Winter Ale...mmmmmm!

Had to bump us up!!!

Please help.....Dh and I arrive late on Friday Sept 16 and leave early afternoon on Monday Sept 19. I have 2 day hoppers for each of us from our honeymoon. The only definite plan we have is our 1st Anniversary Dinner at California Grill on Sunday the 18th.

Here's the dilemma -We really want to do the Monorail (and more) drink and eat-athon. I can't decide whether to use our hoppers for just a few hours at the parks, when I know we will spend most of our day travelling around the world sampling the bars/restaurants.

Okay, the biggest problem is that I can't possibly imagine being at WDW and not go to any parks!!! Please please please...Has anyone done a trip to the World without actually going to a park??

Hi everyone! I finally made it through this looong thread, and I would like to join the LOTW. As a recent college grad, I have plenty of drinking experience! A couple weeks ago, I went out on a work night with some co-workers, and had such a rough morning the next day, that 2 of us spent some time in the "quiet room" at work recovering!

DH and I will be at WDW for our anniversary the same time as the LOTW meet, but we have a fireworks cruise scheduled for the 30th. I'm sure we'll have a couple drinks that night anyway! Last year's trip DH couldn't drink, so I know he plans to make up for it this year at the F&W fest!

I just remembered that in April I was in LA on a business trip, and one night we went down to DL, and had the BEST chocolate cake martini at the lounge in the DL Hotel. It was totally clear, but tasted so much like chocolate cake, I almost felt that I should be chewing it!

Does anyone know if they serve corona light on property? Also I saw a picture from one of the pools and there was a CAN of corona. Whats up with that? Does all WDW corona come in a can? I think I have some moral issues with that!

They sell it in cans at the pools so you do not have glass containers. Not sure if they have Corona Light.

On our last trip, (Boardwalk/Contemporary) we didn't do any parks. Just bar/lounge hopping, pool, going around different resorts...all that good stuff.

All of that occuipied all our time we didnt even have a chance to hit up Downtown Disney.

So yes, we've done Disney without hittin up the parks. Besides, it was too hot and crowded.
